Grassroots Team

• Organizing & participating in tabling events across California (mainly at health fairs and farmers markets) via the SEL’s 5 regional grassroots teams: Central, Bay Area, SoCal, Sacramento, and Central Coast. At these events, SEL members collect ACS CAN petition signatures and share cancer prevention & screening information with local communities. Check out our event impact on the “Our Impact” page!

• Developing relationships with lawmakers on the local level (e.g., assembly members, city council members, and state senators) through meetings, email correspondence, and event attendance to advocate for ACS CAN-supported policies and campaigns.

• Creating & maintaining community partnerships with local organizations, health centers, and leaders.

• Developing a high school health education curriculum focused on cancer prevention, aligned with California Health Education Standards, to be implemented in health classes.
